(Web Desk) – The Pakistani government has distributed financial assistance cheques to the families of victims who lost their lives in the recent terrorist attack on an imambargah in Islamabad, officials confirmed.
The attack took place on February 6 at Imambargah Khadijat-ul-Kubra in the Tarlai area of the federal capital, resulting in multiple fatalities. In line with an earlier announcement by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, compensation payments have now been delivered to the affected families as part of relief and support measures.
According to official sources, heirs of 36 victims belonging to Islamabad received financial assistance, with each family provided a cheque worth Rs5 million. Authorities stated that the payments were intended to offer immediate financial relief and acknowledge the sacrifices made by the victims and their families.
In addition, compensation cheques are being delivered to the families of four other victims who belonged to different regions, including Taunsa Sharif, Talagang, Astore, and Skardu. Officials said coordination with local administrations is underway to ensure that all eligible families receive the announced assistance without delays.
Government representatives reiterated their commitment to supporting victims of terrorism and ensuring that affected families receive necessary financial and institutional assistance. The distribution of compensation is part of broader efforts aimed at addressing the humanitarian impact of terrorist incidents and reinforcing solidarity with victims’ families.
Security authorities have continued investigations into the attack, while law enforcement agencies have maintained heightened security measures across sensitive locations in Islamabad and other parts of the country to prevent further incidents.
Pakistan has faced recurring security challenges in recent years, prompting authorities to strengthen counter-terrorism strategies and improve coordination among security institutions. Officials emphasized that supporting victims and their families remains a key component of the state’s response to terrorism.
